Andrew Symonds, the Australia batsman, could face disciplinary action after flattening a streaker during the second limited-overs tri-series final against India in Brisbane.

The naked man ran onto the pitch toward Symonds at the non-striker’s end Tuesday as he attempted to evade chasing police and ground security staff at the Gabba.

Symonds, who had not scored at that stage, with Australia 34 for three chasing 259 to win and keep the three-match series alive, stood his ground and leaned into the streaker in a rugby-style shoulder charge, dropping him instantly to the ground.
